Welcome to Pebblebed

DRAGONS DEN APPEARANCE 

In February the BBC sent an email to Uk Vineyards calling for projects to be put forward for the TV programme Dragons Den.  

We have been thinking for sometime about an idea to expand Pebblebed so that people or local businesses could have an involvement in the vineyard and drink wine under their label!    

So with some trepidation I put together a pitch for investment and entered the Den! and only just came out alive with backing from Duncan Bannatyne!

For more information about the project to participate in our new vineyard please click the box to the left and down or contact.

thanks

Geoff

Pebblebed Vineyards

Pebblebed Vineyards today has some 22 acres under vines located on three sites in East Devon close to Exeter. Our producing vineyards are organic, registered with the soil association. 

Vine Stage - growing on grapes pea size - all looking really good - still great weather!

Its been a fantastic year so far - escaping the late frost - perfect weather at flowering - a bit of rain post flowering to help the canopy and low disease pressure - its our busiest time in the vineyard managing the fast growing canopy to prevent dense growth causing areas of disease.  Now want a bit of sun end of August and September and my "cup will be running over"!

Bio-Dynamic Trials

We have Edward Templeman working with us for the next six months - he is a mature student at Plumpton Viticulture College and an expert in Bio-Dynamics and under his direction we will be looking into converting part of the vineyard to Bio-Dynamic!  There is a description of the project under our Environmental Projects web page and Ed is going to complete a blog during the trial.
